Death-The Powers Case.
Copri9kt, 1857, by tie California associated Press.
HoLLIsTER, November 30th. - Harvey
Meere, one of the Oldest and most respected
prominent citizens of San Benito county
died OF hemorrhage at Salinas yesterday
morning. He had been in poor health a
long time. Death, however was unex-
pected. He leaves wife and large family
well provided for.
F. f. Salter from Wisconsin, aged forty
four, a farmer, residing twelve miles from
Hollister, accidentally killed himself last
night. He was taking down pair of pam
falcons from hook, and pulled a loaded
gun down. which was in some way dis
charged, and charge of buckshot entered
below the heart, passed upward through
the throat and lodged in the brain. A re-
port that he committed suicide was dis
posed of by the Coroners inquest. The
verdict was as above. He leaves wife and
several children practically unprovided for.
be was member OF Jesse L. Rene Post,
G. a. R., and will be buried under its au-
spices.
Judge G. B. Montgomery, special counsel,
closed the argument for the State in the
case of The People VS.. Irwin at noon yes
terday. Irwin, 1t will be remembered, is
brother-in-law of John I. Prewett and an
alleged consplrator in the murder of Dr. 4 .
Powers on September II, 1885. The Prev
EFT jury stood eleven for conviction and
one for acquittal, and Prewett is now out
on $l5, 600 bail. The defense in the Irwin
case offered no evidence. The jury has re-
turned verdict of murder in the second
degree. Sentence is set for Monday.
The verdict in the Irwin case meets with
universal approval, and was not surprise
here, as the people were fully prepared and
anticipated the result. No defense was
made, as none but the conspirators could
have availed, and their position forbid.
The case was q strong one, and the verdict
as light as the facts could permit. Prewitt

Sonoma City's Tax Collector Lights Out
With All His Collections.
(CoPwig, 1857, By tie California Asseciatea Press.l
SoNoMA, November 30th.-This town was
thrown into high state of excitement to-
day by the announcement that U. P.
Vallejo, Marshal and Tax Collector had
sailed for Mazatlan, Mex, yesterday on the
steamer Costa Rica, taking with him the
entire proceeds of the city tax levy for the
year 1887, amounting to 81 1,20O. The
money was deposited by Vallejo in the
Sonoma Valley Bank several days ago.
On Monday he drew it out, osteDsibly for
the purpose of handing it over to the City
Treasurer. This he did not do, and on
Tuesday morning he boarded the cars at
this place with the money on his person,
and at 3 o'clock the same day took passage
on the steamer Costa Rica, and is now no
doubt well on his way 10 the land where
extradition has no terror for criminals.
The defaulting official is son of NJ. G.
Vallejo. The old General and his vener-
able wife are bowed down with grief.
They feel keenly the disgrace which the
defaulting Tax Collector has brought upon
their old and honored name. The city
will not lose anything, as the money will
be made good by Vallejo's bondsmen, @.
Aguillon and F. Clewe, both wealthy men.

THE WESTWARD TIDE.
All the Pacific Railroads Overcrowded
with Freight and Passengers.


with Freight and Passengers.
Boston, November 29th.-A New York
special to the Herald announces a great
boom East in California railroad securities,
the result of big increase of business in
that section. Their correspondent sums up
the following as the result of his inyestiga-
tions and examinations
The southern routes TO California are
doing tremendous business in passenger
traffic. 1t is unprecedented in the history
of these roads. The passengers are gen
orally tourists, but there are enough emf
grants to warrant boom in California
as we'll as increasing the future earnings OF
the transcontinental lines. The Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe road, besides being
blocked with freight, is almost blocked
with passengers. Every first-class train
goes out in three sections, and it is a strong
pull on the rolling stock of that company,
let alone the engines that are pressed into
the service. This movement is a heavy
one, and formidable freight engines are
used in the passenger traffic, and new or
der for 200 locomotives is being filled at the
rate OF three a day, and still they are not
happy. The Southern and Central and Union
Pacific roads are carrying 1 900 persons day
into California, which, with the other
routes, increase the figures to 1900 daily
This traffic will last three months, and at
that rate $4,000 people will have been car
ried to the Golden Gate. If one-third of
them stop there the tariffs both to and from
will be an unmistakable boom in the earn
ingS Of these roads, which will bolster
them up and make their stock worth sew
eral points more than at present"
Concluding he says; The figures that /
have given may appear exaggerated, but
they are justified by the facts. l know of
no stocks more safe for speculative pur-
poses, or to hold for dividends, than these
same Pacific roads,"

a POSSIBLE sQUABBLE.
a Question as 70 the Eligibility of an
Indiana United States Senator.

ICopyiC,, 1857, by the California associated Pressl
WASHINGTON, November 30ih.-TSpecial.1 I
Senator Ingalls,, President pro tenn. of
the Senate, has telegraphed to all the Re-
publican members of the Senate TO be
present at the opening of Congress. The
object of this summons is to refer to the
Committee on Elections the credentials of
David Turpie, Senator from Indiana, be-
fore that gentleman is allowed to take the
oath of Office and his seat. Turpies Gre
dentials are irregular in form. They lack
the signature of the Speaker of the House
of Representatives of Indiana the Clerk of
the House, and the Secretary of State.
Green Smith, who signed the credentials
as the presiding officer of the Joint Con-
vention which declared Turpe elected,
subsequently had to make way for
Lieutenant-Governor Robertson. who was
forcibly elected from the State Senate when
he undertook to assume the duties of the
Office to which he was elected
The Democrats claim that Senator Rid
dleberger, of Virginia, elected as a Repub-
lican, will vote with them to seat Turpie
before his case is referred to the Committee
on Elections. The Republicans deny this
claim, and Riddleberger is non-committal.
1t looks as though there might be an ex-
citing contest over the organization of the
Senate.

Louisville Politics Enlivened by a Little
Democratic Episode.
ICopgTiS, 1887, by us California lssocited Press.l
LOUISVILLE, November 30th.-TSpeciaj. I
A pohncal sensation was caused here to-
day by the publication of a stenographic
report OF the conversation of a leading
Democratic ward-worker in Offering a bribe
to candidate for the City Council. Scott
Newman, wealthy contractor, has for years
been one OF the shrewdest workers in
local politics. Garnett Ripley is a candidate
for the Lower Board of the Council from the
most respectable ward in the city. Ripley
had been several times approached with
offers OF financial support in return for his
assistance when in Office. Finally New
man, who is working for Charles D. Jacob,
ex-Minlster TO Bogota, for Mayor, and in
the interest of the Louisville Gas Com
pBny approached Ripley.
THE BRIBER TRAPPED.
The latter trapped Newman into two in
terviews in his office, where he had wit
ness and two stenographers concealed.
Newman offered money bribes for votes
and the manipulation of returns, and gave
Ripley 500. The closing interview was
last night. To-day Ripley turned over the
500 bribe 20 the public school fund, and
published stenographic report of the in
teryieW
